DUST PAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 509 ,689, datedNovember 28, 1893.

Apnlication filed March 8. 1893. Serial No. 465,099. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. SARCHET, of Butte, in the county of SilverBow and State of Montana, have invented a new and Improved Dust-Pan, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved dust pan,which is simple and durable in construction, arranged for convenientlygathering up and retaining the sweepings in the pan, and adapted toconveniently discharge the sweepings whenever desired.

The invention consists of a central receptacle mounted to turn in aframe.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details andcombinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter andthen pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a plan View of theimprovement with parts broken out; andFig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same on the line 2-2 of Fig.1.

The improved dust pan is provided with a frame A formed with a depressedcircular seat B, in which is fitted a receptacle 0 mounted to turn atits center on a pivot D attached to the bottom of the seat B, as isplainly shown in the drawings.

The receptacle 0 is provided with a segmental flange G forming, at itsends, a mouth or opening for the receptacle, the said mouth beingadapted to register with an inlet F arranged on one side of the frame Aand having an inclined bottom and flanges on its sides, as shown in thedrawings.

On one end of the segmental flange (3 of the receptacle C is arranged ahandle Efor conveniently turning the said receptacle so as to move itsopening or mouth into and out of registry with the inlet F of the frameA. The mouth of the receptacle is also adapted to register with anoutlet G arranged in alignment with the bottom of the seat B, so thatwhen the mouth of the receptacle registers with the said outlet and theframe A is slightly tipped to one side with the outlet G downward, thenthe sweepings contained in the receptacle are readily discharged throughthe mouth and outlet G to one side of the pan.

In order to conveniently manipulate the frame A, I provide the same witha suitable handle H, having its lower part bent under the bottom of theseat B, the extreme end being turned over, as at H, under the bottom ofthe frame A, so that the inclined bottom of the inlet F is broughtconveniently to the floor or table or other object from which thesweepings are swept over the said inlet into the receptacle 0.

It is understood that the inner end of the inlet F is in the shape ofthe segment of a circle, conforming to the circular seat B, as will bereadily understood by reference to Fig. 1.

A stop I is secured to the inlet F, and projects into the path of theflange 0' of the receptacle C, to limit the turning motion of the latterat the time the mouth or opening of the said receptacle registers withthe outlet G.

Havingthus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. A dust pan comprising a frame having adepressed circular seat, an inlet leading to the said seat, an outletfrom the said seat, and a receptacle mounted to turn in the said seat,the said receptacle having an opening in one side adapted to registerwith the said inlet or the said outlet, substantially as shown anddescribed.

2. A dust pan comprising a frame having a depressed circular seat, aninlet leading to the said seat and having an inclined bottom, an outletfrom the said seat, and a receptacle mounted to turn in the said seat,the said receptacle having an opening in one side adapted to registerwith the said inlet or the said outlet, substantially as shown anddescribed.

3. In a dust pan, the combination with a frame comprising a depressedcircular seat, an inclined inlet leading to the seat, and an outletextending from the seat at one side thereof and arranged angularly tothe said inlet, of a receptacle mounted to turn in the said seat, thesaid receptacle being provided with a segmental flange and with anopening in one side adapted to register with the said inlet or the saidoutlet, substantially as shown and described.
